EK's Lorraine Kelly Scoops BAFTA Special Award

East Kilbride legend Lorraine Kelly was awarded BAFTA's Special award on Sunday (12/5) night in recognition of her long standing service to television and broadcasting.

After leaving Claremont High School, Lorraine's first journalistic job was on the East Kilbride News, before becoming a researcher for the BBC in Glasgow and launching her 40 year career in front of the camera.

Accepting the award from Succession's (and Dundonian) Brian Cox, Lorraine said: ""I never ever take it for granted that so many people trust me with their stories... I would just say don't pull up the ladder... I just want everyone to have the best opportunities." before announcing that she was about to become a Grandma!

2024 marks four-decades of her unstoppable and impressive broadcasting career, as a hugely significant presence on daytime television.
